Online Workshop: Repetitive Tasks in R

This workshop on Wednesday, March 30th at 2:00-4:30 pm will be an active learning "code-along" overview of how to automate repetitive tasks while programming in R. 

After this workshop, you should know when and how to 

• use loops to automate tasks 
• use vectorized base or package functions to automate tasks 
• write your own functions to automate tasks 

Please bring a computer with R and RStudio (suggested) installed. Prior experience coding in R is required. I.e., most of the code in lessons 1-4 in Data Carpentry with R or lessons 1 and 4-6 in Software Carpentry with R should be familiar to you. Complete novices to R should attend Data or Software Carpentry instead. The curriculum and code from past workshops are available online at https://osf.io/p2qke/. 

Zoom will provide for automated closed captions. The instructor will keep video on for lip-reading. Learners do not need to have video or microphone capabilities, though audio can aid troubleshooting for the code-along, as can learners’ ability to screen-share. The instructor will ask learners to respond frequently with Zoom reactions to ensure no learner is left behind. This workshop is online only and will not have a hybrid in-person option, but it will be offered as an in-person-only workshop in Fall 2022.  

Registration is required to receive Zoom link!
